It is indeed hard to fathom the situation that Calvin faced during the medieval period. Perhaps really an extension of God's grace that led us to be able to do what we do today, and to appreciate to a deeper level God's word for ourselves rather than to live with a present fear and feeling of un-guaranteed salvation.
Perhaps then a recurring question is then why did God allow this to happen and to let the church go into this state. Then again this question could involve the entirety of the bible and to extend to why let Adam fall in the first place, which is a whole other matter concerning free will which will be out of the context of this discussion.
At this stage of course then comes this very good analogy by 长安牧师:

I think within the context of our own human actions (inspired by God and still have a lot of control over) and as leaders, it really takes a slight deviation to really compound and aggravate and result in a very large abyss between Truth and where we are. Just as how in the previous week we realize how seemingly small actions or changes in political environment leads to very different results and makeup of the populace. It is in our every responsibility to then, with the help of prayer and God, to always keep it as close to the Truth as humanly possible.
